Senior Systems Designer

Demiurge Studios is seeking a visionary Systems Designer to play a lead role conceiving, creating, and perfecting our next product!

You know the heart of a game lies in its systems and rules. You create interlocking systems that lead players into making fun decisions, that unlock slowly to reveal layers of depth, and that support the motivations of characters, story, and players. You’ve learned how to cultivate systems that grow over time, and you have a proven track record of handing out fun for free (but players want to pay you anyways). With your encyclopedic knowledge of game mechanics you can say what the right tool is. Because you possess a deep empathy for your players and an arsenal of clever of algorithms, you understand how to use those tools.
